- Charge on the back of your phone

- Will be announced 16 October

While the event in London will primarily focus on the Huawei Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro smartphones, the company is also tipped to announce the Huawei Freebuds 2 - the second generation version of its Apple AirPods rival.

The new true wireless headphones are said to offer something even Apple's cannot: wireless charging from one of the forthcoming Mate 20 or Mate 20 Pro handsets.

German website WinFuture managed to get hold of, what looks like, press images of the new earbuds and their case - including a shot of them on the top of a wireless charger and also the back of a phone.
